Kite flying on memorial day

We went to a beach park on the west shore on memorial day.  It is a very dry side of the island because it is in the mountains' rain shadow.  The trade winds were blowing stiffly so we took the kite.  I tried attaching the camera to the kite again but it just weighs it down too much, even with a good wind.  When the wind gets stronger the kite's flexible frame bends back and it looses lift.  I think it is designed this way on purpose to avoid breaking.  We're going to have to change strategies to get the camera in the air.  By the way, F liked grabbing the camera and running around with it.
